BTP has extensive experience delivering projects across the Ministry of Justice and HM Courts and Tribunal Service estate. Working as lead architect for major contractors, we have remodelled and refurbished live courts, created judicial and office accommodation, and upgraded and repurposed custodial facilities nationwide.
Our portfolio includes Priory Court in Birmingham, where we created 12 hearing rooms, 19 judiciary rooms and improved public facilities, alongside projects at Oxford Combined Courts, Swindon Magistrates’ and Combined Courts, and the Grade I listed Victoria Law Courts. Our conservation expertise also extends to Lancaster Castle’s historic Shire Hall.
Led by Director Simon Dennis, who has more than 20 years’ specialist judicial and custodial experience, our security-cleared team understands the complex requirements of sensitive, operational environments. We carefully address security, acoustics, accessibility, circulation, phasing and continuity of service, while sensitively integrating modern facilities within existing and listed buildings.
Our flexible, sustainable designs balance operational efficiency and robust security with the dignity and wellbeing of everyone who uses these spaces. Through close collaboration with clients, contractors and stakeholders, we create safe, adaptable facilities that meet evolving operational needs and deliver lasting value.
